there's only one C25K run left...

week 9 run 2

ooh that felt like very hard work at times, the massive Chinese meal and couple of pints last night perhaps wasn't the best training diet lol

however... Not that I've loaded garmin data for analysis yet... I ran for 3.96k! And that is very exciting with a bit more effort somewhere (oh gosh) I stand a chance of being over 4k on Sunday...

Had to head off out of the village today as Laura said you've got 10 mins and I was all of a dither thinking I've run out of room! I can't loop the island thing again I look like a mad woman so launched myself off down to the next village and then turned back again when the footpath ended, I was aiming back at my village boundary sign and pushing hard when Laura said 60 secs I didn't quite make it to the sign (serious smoker puffing going on) but I'm not arguing with the distance achieved today!!

I was walking back hands on head trying to get some oxygen in and passed a neighbour taking his dogs out, he took one look at me and he said 'oooh that doesn't look like fun' lol I think I mumbled something about it being hard work lol checked with a mirror as I got in the house and he's right it doesn't LOL

but it is really

I know! Against all odds, twisted as it seems... By heck it IS fun! Well done to you.

[Pricey Graduate]

ha ha I too have just done that run, god I struggled today, I think it's a Friday thing! I will do my last one on Monday I think can't believe we are so close!

[BTX4 Graduate]

I struggled with mine yesterday - he last bit uphill was just sooo hard. I too put it down to the indian take-away and beers the night before!

Final run tomorrow and then I can have a badge too

Such a little thing but it means so much!

[Minuette Graduate]

Hahaha I think we must look very strange (well I do when I look in the mirror after a run) but inside we are beaming!!! Plus virtual hug back atcha!

Good luck for the last run!!!

[Gridlet Graduate]

Good luck with your last race bxter! Well done!

[blueboots Graduate]

Bxster I am going to miss your graduation as I'm having a few days away without my computer I wish you the best of luck and hope you break that 4K barrier. I hadn't realised you suggested the GRADUATE badge so thanks for that, I've asked for mine now.

[AliB1 Graduate]

Good luck for the last run. I think you should have a curry instead of chinese though....remember the running magazine mentioned it as a good thing!!

Looking forward to getting my badge!!! Thanks for suggesting it. :0
